Brunch - Chocolate Crepes

B and I like to serve brunch.  Actually, I like to serve breakfast, B likes to allow people the opportunity to sleep in on weekends and invites people for brunch.

I make killer pancakes.  Killer in taste.  And calories.  But the day I turned B onto my pancakes was the day he decided to marry me (or we were already married and I was sick of his Bisquick pancakes so finally introduced him to the beauty of pancakes from scratch, whichever story you want to believe).

We had a brunch last weekend - B promised the guests pancakes.  But 10:30 in the morning is a little early to spend your calorie allotment for the day - on just an ordinary day - on pancakes.  So, when Leah featured this blog last week I decided we'd make crepes.


The crepes were good - we filled them with raspberries instead of strawberries.  And B likes preserves instead of whipped cream in his crepes.  I didn't notice the chocolate - but that's probably because I switched up the ingredients.  They were a nice change, fun to make and eat.  I'm a big fan of finding new options for my favorite entertaining meal of the day.

    There is NOTHING I like more than to spend my day's calorie allotment on breakfast. A sugary delicious breakfast. And I'd like to know on what planet your husband is from with this preserves over whipped cream preference. I hate to say it Em, but you may have married a crazy.

    I have a great recipe for whole grain, banana, nut, buttermilk pancakes. Amazingly they are very tasty and good for you as well. You know.....so you can eat that extra piece of bacon! :-)

    Yum! Chris loves to make breakfast foods too. I like egg stuff better- but he loves to make pancakes and such.

    I've been following the 5,000 daily calorie intake, so I'll eat your crepes AND your pancakes. Esp. when they look this delish! I'll bring my stretchy pants.
